Tonight, multiple major battles are taking place simultaneously, with the Shanghai-Guangdong matchup and the Shanxi-Nanjing game receiving the most attention. The result is that Guangdong's nine-game winning streak has been ended, and the dark horse Shanxi suffered an upset loss. Below is a summary of these two games. Guangdong 81-115 Shanghai The game started with Guangdong coming out strong, continuously executing defensive counterattacks, and opening with a 9-0 run to force a timeout from Shanghai.

Jilunwater was benched due to a dispute with…

In the Champions League match that concluded on January 22nd, Beijing time, Bologna pulled off a surprising victory over Borussia Dortmund at home. Girassi scored first for Dortmund, while Darinjia and Ilin's goals helped Bologna turn the game around. Bologna secured their first win of the season in the Champions League, their second in history, but unfortunately were eliminated. Meanwhile, the Yellow Bees of Dortmund are facing serious challenges. Dortmund made a mistake by trusting Sahin and letting go of their defensive core for free, now suffering four consecutive losses and ranking 13th in the Champions League. In the 15th minute of the game, Bologna player Holm committed a foul, and Girassi converted the penalty with a Panenka-style chip shot, giving Dortmund the lead away from home. In the 71st minute, Bologna executed a fine combination play, with a long pass from the backline piercing through Dortmund's defense. Jens Odegaard crossed the ball to the front of the goal, and Darinjia pounced to equalize the score. Bologna pressed their advantage, and just one minute later, Ilin scored the decisive goal with a rebound. Bologna had 17 shots in this game, while Dortmund only managed three attempts on goal; it would have been strange if Dortmund had won. After changing coaches, Dortmund has struggled under Sahin's leadership this season, with a record of 12 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses, a win rate of 46.1%. They have lost their last four matches and currently sit 13th in the Champions League and 10th in the Bundesliga. Last season, Dortmund finished as runners-up…

Therefore, Xun Sifeng is not in a hurry to commit to any university immediately. Xun Sifeng comes from a basketball family; his twin brother, Xun Sinan, is also a rising star in basketball, standing at 2.13 meters tall and primarily playing as a center.

Guangdong Hongyuan's offseason signings have really brought great expectations to the fans! The foreign players Barton and Bazley were cut, which caught many people off guard. However, this decision was not unexpected. This season, Guangdong Hongyuan's foreign players' performances did not fully meet the team's needs. The two remaining foreign players, Morand and Jilunwater, may not be able to completely solve the problems on the front line. Therefore, the next highly anticipated move is the signing of a foreign forward, which has become an urgent position for Guangdong Hongyuan to strengthen. Recently, basketball journalist Song Xiang revealed an exciting message - Guangdong Hongyuan is interested in signing former NBA player Donis Arms! You know, Arms is not just a "sounding exotic" name; he is a truly talented young player. Although Arms did not find a fixed position in the NBA, his performance in the NBA Development League, especially during his time with the Grizzlies, was quite impressive. Born in 1998, Arms stands at 1.98 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. At a young age, he has already shown a hardcore basketball heart. Despite becoming an undrafted player in the NBA, he did not sink into despair but instead made a name for himself in the Development League! Last season, while playing for the Grizzlies' Development League team, he averaged 28.6 minutes per game, contributing 16.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 45.9% and a three-point percentage of 39.7%. These stats make me want to give him a thumbs up! When representing the Kings…

17:10 - Ten Hag hopes that Dortmund will sign Rashford, and Dortmund is interested in officially inviting Ten Hag to coach after the Champions League match this week. Rashford currently prefers to join Barcelona or stay at Manchester United to wait for opportunities. Even if he joins Barcelona, he will not immediately get a starting opportunity. 17:00 - Ferran Torres accepts the role of substitute to stay in the team, and Barcelona urgently needs to sell Eric Garcia to make room for the salary space to introduce Rashford. Tottenham is preparing to offer a loan plus buyout contract for Fati, but Fati is not interested in the contract offered by Tottenham. Mendes recommended Asensio to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are not interested in the player. 16:53 - Garnacho has reached a personal agreement with Napoli, with an annual salary of 4 million euros and a contract period of five years. The Manchester City management has arrived in Naples to accelerate the transfer negotiations of Garnacho, and Manchester United hopes to complete the transaction at a price of 60 million pounds. 16:28 - Amorim intends to sell Luke Shaw in the summer window, freeing up a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds before signing a new player.

Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has stated that the Spanish giants will prioritize renewing contracts before considering any new signings when asked about the club's interest in Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford. The Catalan club is among several European teams linked with the out-of-favor forward. While AC Milan's interest has cooled and doubts have been raised about Rashford's desire to join Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona is considered the "dream" destination for the English international. Earlier this month, reports suggested that Barcelona was preparing a bid for Rashford, but Deco has been keen to downplay any transfer speculation. Ahead of Tuesday's Champions League first-round penultimate match between Barcelona and Benfica, Deco was questioned about his meeting with United intermediary Arturo Canales in Lisbon to discuss any potential transfer of Rashford. "We are discussing [financial] fair play issues," Deco told Movistar, "arranging it, and if we can ultimately strengthen the team, we will try, but there is nothing today." Deco emphasized that Barcelona's top priority is to ensure they do not violate La Liga's strict financial regulations. The club has already had to appeal to the Spanish government to secure the emergency (and temporary) registration of Dani Olmo and Paul Victor this season. Barcelona is also actively negotiating new contracts for several first-team players, which will put additional pressure on the club's fragile financial situation. "These are all fair play issues, and today's top priority is to renew the contracts of our key players," Deco declared. "Once all this is over, we can focus on reinforcing one area or another, but this…

The Nuggets defeated Philadelphia 144-109, with a current record of 27 wins and 16 losses. The Nuggets are fourth in the West, but only one win behind the third-place Grizzlies. They are also only 1.5 wins behind the second-place Rockets. It is very likely that the Nuggets will overtake them for second place, although surpassing the Thunder is unrealistic. There isn't much to say about this game; it was initially expected that Embiid would return to play against the Nuggets, but he didn't dare to participate as long as it was a Denver game. Currently, Embiid has won more matchups against Jokic, but most of these victories were at home in Philadelphia. After the game, Sean Keeler from the Denver Post wrote that Embiid and Jokic can no longer be compared. Now, the real competition is between Jokic and Wembanyama. Since Embiid cannot even play, he is not worthy of being compared to his teacher. In 2023, Embiid relied on Harden's help to win the MVP because there was fatigue with Jokic's consecutive MVPs. At that time, Jokic had won two consecutive MVPs, and it was indeed difficult to achieve a third. Adding to that, Embiid only managed to win with a 68-game attendance rate. However, the gap between these two centers from the East and West has been growing ever since. When Jokic hadn't won a championship, Embiid once said during his MVP season that Jokic hadn't won a championship either, so he felt no pressure. But then Jokic easily won the championship in 2023, while Embiid fell in…

On January 22nd, Beijing time, a shocking event took place! The 32-year-old Guo Ailun once again broke records, scoring an astonishing 40 points against a championship contender, leaving Yang Ming and Liaoning in a more awkward position than Beikong. A peak battle in the CBA has concluded, with Guangzhou Long Lions losing at home to Beijing Beikong. Despite a significant deficit, they staged a remarkable comeback, with Guo Ailun delivering an incredible performance that was both the most exciting and uplifting of the season. Although the team lost, he did not. The loss was due to the fact that his teammates were simply not up to par, with the team's overall strength falling short of their opponents. However, this does not mean that Guo Ailun was incapable of performing. He scored an impressive 40 points, achieving his highest score of the season, and fully demonstrated his dominance, proving that he deserved to be the All-Star starter. After being selected as the All-Star starter, many people questioned whether he was worthy of the honor. But is he really deserving? In this game against the formidable Beikong, where the team's overall strength was far inferior to the opposition, it was him alone who led a group of inexperienced teammates in a fierce battle. By halftime, he had already scored 20 points with an astonishing shooting percentage of 6 out of 14, repeatedly driving to the basket and scoring time after time. It was as if he was silently shouting, "I'm just injured, not useless!" In just half a game, Guo Ailun proved…

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team and Shandong High-Speed Men's Basketball Team have announced significant new signings, resulting in noticeable changes to their team rosters. Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has signed Harry Giles III, a former NBA player known for his prowess in the paint, while Shandong High-Speed Men's Basketball Team has welcomed the physically imposing Christopher Koumadje. The addition of these two players has undoubtedly further strengthened the capabilities of both teams, generating excitement among fans for upcoming matches. Let's start with Shanxi Men's Basketball Team's signing. Giles III is a name that many basketball fans will recognize. Standing at 2.11 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.21 meters, he is a natural-born basketball player. More importantly, Giles III was selected as the 20th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Although his NBA career did not reach great heights, he played for the Sacramento Kings and scored 20 points and 9 rebounds in just 21 minutes during a game against the Atlanta Hawks, demonstrating his remarkable abilities. His arrival is undoubtedly a significant addition to Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. Shanxi Team has had an impressive season so far, with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses by the 10th round, ranking third in the standings. Their foreign player, Brandon Goodwin, averages 24.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game, making him the core of the team. Domestic players Zhang Ning and Yuan Shuai have also performed exceptionally well, forming a formidable trio with Goodwin that serves as the primary offensive force for Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. The addition…

It's really unexpected that the Shanghai team, which has been rising and is poised to challenge for the finals, has started scouting for quality small foreign players for next season with 13 rounds of regular season games yet to be played. After defeating Sichuan away, according to insiders, the Shanghai men's basketball team made contact with Sichuan's foreign player Samna during their trip to Sichuan, discussing the possibility of signing next season. If they successfully partner with this season's scoring champion, it's quite possible that the Shanghai team could make it to the finals next season, allowing the current 31-year-old Wang Zhelin to retire with a championship ring. Although the Shanghai team faced a foreign player crisis in the first stage of the 24-25 season, especially with a record of 1 win and 9 losses, which led to the resignation of head coach Liu Peng, the new season's Shanghai team can be said to have one of the best-performing young players. Under the condition of four quarters and seven foreign player uses in the league, most teams rarely allow young players playing time in pursuit of overall results. Most rely on veterans, but due to foreign player and injury issues, young players in the new season have received a lot of playing time and gradually become core rotations in the team, especially in the second stage after coach Lu Wei took office, players like Li Hongquan, Li Tianrong, Liu Zhengqing, Dai Hao, and even Xie Liyongwei and Ma Diancheng can become main rotation players. Although the current Shanghai team's overall…
